PM Meloni on Bomb Threat In Schools: "They will find a nation that wakes up tomorrow, takes its children to school, and goes to work."

TURIN, Italy — "We will not allow an anonymous email to decide our children's school calendars."

This was stated by Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a video on social media after the bomb threats reportedly received by over 6,000 schools in Italy on Wednesday morning.

To date, she said that there is no evidence to indicate a concrete danger.

All schools will be open as normal on Thursday, the Ministry of Education announced. However, vigilance remains high.

"These messages aren't meant to shock; they're meant to scare. Those who write them want us to fear, to lose days, to suspect, to create chaos. Investigators and the judiciary, along with their European colleagues, are working to determine who's behind them. I won't speculate; when we have certainty, you'll know. With the honesty that distinguishes me, I must say that "it's possible that messages like these will arrive again. It won't be a sign that something has gone wrong; it will be proof that those who send them have nothing else and will find us ready," the Prime Minister said.

Italian media ANSA reported that an email was sent a few minutes before 10:00 a.m., and the alarm immediately went off in 6,300 Italian schools on Wednesday.

"We have come to annihilate you. We will carry out genocide against Italians," according to email signed by Mikhail Antropov, the same name who appeared last week in the claim of responsibility for the false bomb threats aboard dozens of airliners and at the offices of several European television stations.

However, ANSA reported that the alarm was much more widespread. The email announced the presence of a "powerful explosive device" left in the building inside a plastic bag "with a remote trigger." It also referred to a bomb placed in the engine of the prime minister's car.

" We are working to deploy all the tools we have to minimize the impact of these attacks; each alarm will continue to be verified individually, " Meloni said.

"Today, thousands of Italian schools received a message announcing a bomb. In many schools, the students were made to leave, the police checked classroom by classroom, and I'll tell you the most important thing right away: nothing was found in any school. I know that for many families, it was a day of fear or distress; I understand that, and clearly, I don't underestimate it," the Prime Minister concluded.
